Someone who tries to persuade people of things they themselves do not believe or are uncertain of. |
A Propagandist engages in propaganda. Since the word accrued negative associations, this is usually an exonym. People engaged in this line of work may refer to themselves by a range of alternative labels, such as "communications specialists".
“Rachel Schraer is a propagandist. She is not interested in basing the message on the information, but on selecting/fabricating information to help support the pre-determined message.”
